Self AffirmationA voice left silent for too long Cracking, straining to find the flow The words seem distant My fingers can't quite touch them But there's something inside Screaming to be let outSelf Affirmation

I'm counting the milliseconds to the time when I get the interweb back, I need to lay some digital smackdown on the heads of.. hmm.. everyone on the web. Missing talking to you loads. Hope you're doing okay and i'm really sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother, I for one know how much that must've hurt you. Sorry i'm not around to make you feel better. See you soon!

Life means everything when alive, and nothing when you die
I would rather be hated for what I said, instead of loved for what I never meant (to all the haters)
